Ukraine And Its Position on Brzezinski's Grand Chessboard

Throughout the conflict currently taking place inside Ukraine, it is
often a frustrating ordeal to attempt to explain the hidden mechanisms
at work in the battle for the strategically vital European nation.

Indeed, to convey the fact that the initial Euromaidan protests were
instigated by the United States and Anglo-European powers in order to
gain a strategic advantage over and antagonize Russia is difficult

To further explain that Russia,
who has geopolitical and imperial aspirations of its own, is acting
defensively in its response to the destabilization efforts while, at the
same time, attempting to extend its own level of control over Ukraine,
is an equally difficult task.

be accurately conveyed, one question that almost always arises is
“Why?” “Why is Ukraine so important?”
